J. M. M DONALD CONTAINER Filed April 17, 1926 INVENTOR BY Z ATORNEY'.and Cnstrctedthat the -pufl may be moved a bottom member.

" Patented Feb. 3," 1927;

ing of contact between the two irrespective 7 of the wearing away of thecompact.

It will also be noted, that the entire upper face of the compact iswo-rn away uniformly.

A new compact with itsbase can be readily introduced when the old one isworn away. My device, therefore, presents a compact 7 container in whichthe powder puff may be moved over the surface of a compact to pro-- oducea uniform wear thereon, the movement being accomplished without thehand of the operator coming into, contact with either the puff or thecompact, means also being em.

ploye'd to retain loose powder within the container. v

' I do not limit myself to the particular size, shape, number orarrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given sim-o plyas a means forclearly describing-my 1nvention. v

What I claimis:

1. In a powder compact container, in combination, a,.bottom member, anon-revoluble compact plunger within the bottom member and spaced fromthe bottom there0f, means tending to move the plunger upwardly, meansfor limiting the upward movement of the plunger, and an upper revo1ublemember carried by the bottom member and spaced' therefrom forming apowder puff receptacle.

2. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom member, anon-revoluble compact plunger within the bottom member and spaced fromthe bottom thereof, means tending to move the plunger upwardly,

means for limiting the upward movement of the plunge-r, and an upperrevoluble member hingedly attached to the bottom member and spacedtherefrom-forming a"powder puff receptacle. 7

Y 3. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom member, aninwardly ex r tended annular flange member carried by the side of thebottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, a non-revolublecompact plunger larger than the opening of the flange member andpositioned betweenthe flange member andthe bottom of the bottom member,resilient means tending to move the plunger upwardly, a top membercarried by the bottom member and revoluble thereon, a cover carried bythe top member and a pufl carrying compartment between the cover and theplunger.

4. In a powder compact, container, in combination, a bottom member, aninwardly extended annular flange member carried by the side of thebottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, a non-revolublecompact plunger larger than the opening of the fiange member andpositioned between the fia1ige member and the bottom of the -botto'mmember, resilient means tending to move the plunger upwardly, a topmember carried by the bottom member and revoluble thereon, a covercarried bythe top member, a puff carrying compartment between the coverand the 'plunger and means whereby a puff within the pufi compartmentwill form a closure between the bottom member and the top member whenthe lid isclosed.

5. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom member,a'ninwardly extended annular fiange 1nemberxcarried by the side ofthebottom member and spaced from the bottom thereof, a non-revolublecompact plungerlarger than the opening of the flangemember andpositioned between the fiange member and the bottom of the bottommember, resilient means tending to move the plunger upwardly, a topmember carried by the bottom member and revoluble thereon, a covercarried by the top member, a puff carryi ng compartment between flangemember and the bottommember, re-' silient means tending to move theplunger upwardly means l1m1t1ng' the upward movement of the plunger, atop member carried by and revoluble upon the combined bot' tom members,a hinged cover carried by the top member forming a powder puficompartment and y means for maintaining the cover in closed position.

bination, a bottom having an upwardly extended side, an inwardlyextended sup- 'porting member fixedly attached to the side member, aninwardly extended ring- 2 shaped flange member fixedly attached to bythe supporting member, a vertically movable nonrevoluble compactplungerbetween the fiange member and the bottom member, resilient meanstending to m'ove the plunger up.wardly, means limiting the upwardmovement of the plunger, a top membercarried by and revoluble upon thecombined bottom members, a hinged Cover carried by the top memberforming apowder puff compartment, 1neans whereby a puff within thecompartment will be pressed against a powder compact carried by the.plunger when the cover is closed and means for maintaining the cover inclosedposition. r

8. In a powder compact container, in combination, a bottom having "anupwardly extended side, an inwardly extended supporting member fixedlyattached to the side 7.
